COMMUNITY COOKING CLASSES

Meet your neighbours, pick up new skills and boost your confidence in the kitchen

Are you a kitchen newbie who needs a few skills to get started? Or a parent or carer who wants to add some new, affordable meals to your week? Or are you living alone and looking for a way to get out and do something different?

We run regular cooking classes and demonstrations, for local people of all ages and experience levels. They’re fun, friendly sessions, designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to enjoy cooking for yourself and others.
